Relaxed Pedaling on the Pättkes

Just over the Dutch border, east of Twente and the Achterhoek, lies Münsterland—a region reminiscent of Limburg. Nestled in gently rolling hills, Billerbeck warmly welcomes cycling enthusiasts. From here, you can head in any direction, enjoying excellent cycle paths. Often these are the so-called Pättkes: quiet, peaceful bike trails that lead you past castles, chapels, and monasteries, and further through rustic villages with centuries-old sandstone churches.

Cycling and Trains

There’s no shortage of castles either. During the five circular tours, you’ll cycle along the former railway line to Burgsteinfurt, stopping at Schloss Darfeld and Haus Alst. You’ll also visit Darup, Rorup, Nottuln, and Burg Hülshoff. Another great option: cycle to the old bishop’s city of Münster and take the train back—or start by train and cycle back. Either way, the capital of Münsterland is beautifully restored. Park your bike, admire the impressive cathedral, stroll the old city walls around the Altstadt, and enjoy a terrace by the water.

Bread Made to Order

Besides the famous Friedenssaal, you can also visit the Pablo Picasso Museum Münster (Picassoplatz 1). Or try the special bread at Bäckerei Tollkötters, located at Rothenburg 20. Their sourdough bread with a thick, crunchy crust has achieved cult status among fans worldwide. The German embassy in Paris even had this signature bread specially delivered for receptions. Ah, schmeckt gut!

Picturesque Castle and Park

Between the charming old town of Burgsteinfurt and the vast Bagno Park lies Steinfurt Castle, a true picture-perfect sight. The castle is just as it should be: surrounded by moats and beautiful gardens with romantic statues and fountains. Unfortunately, it’s privately owned, so no tours inside—but you’re welcome to explore the grounds anytime. From Burgstraße, which connects the town center and Bagno Park, you get the best view of the castle, including the equally picturesque gatehouse. Be sure to visit the 19th-century Bagno Park with its water features, a large boating lake, a court chapel, an Egyptian Tower, a Turkish Mosque, and a Chinese Salon.

One of a Hundred

Darfeld Castle is a German water castle built starting in 1612. The patron, Knight Jobst von Vörden, intended to create an eight-winged baroque fortress during the four-year construction. However, due to disagreements between the knight and the architect—which happened even back then—only two wings were completed. Still, it’s quite a charming residence, appreciated by the current owners. While the interior is off-limits, the beautiful park is open to visitors. Darfeld is one of the hundred castles in Münsterland.
